Between the lines 7/26

Per Howard Balzer's blog, these were the Rams' offensive line units Friday:

1st string: Orlando Pace, Jacob Bell, Brett Romberg, Mark Setterstrom, Alex Barron
2nd string: Brandon Gorin, Roy Schuening, Richie Incognito, Dustin Fry, John Greco

Nick Wagoner's camp report, which I would link to if the Rams' website weren't a slow piece of shit, mentions that Pace pancaked Chris Long during one-on-one drills, but Chris bounced back later against Adam Goldberg. That's good to hear, because if Long can't beat Goldberg pretty regularly, like the rest of the NFL's defensive linemen, he's in early trouble. Also nice to hear Pace is back to his old form, and that my boy Schuening is getting a good look.

Not as good to hear that James Hall pancaked Jacob Bell. Hall looked pretty good last summer, too, then disappeared in the regular season. Jacob Bell should be neutralizing him with ease.

Biggest surprise so far is that Goldberg isn't listed as part of either of the first two units. This is pretty much a make-or-break training camp for Fry, so maybe he's just being given as good a shot as possible.
